Thanks guys , I have to say my sweetheart has been takin excellent care of this while I have been in Teton park every once in awhile I can get Wifi up there but only for a few minutes, can't upload or download pix untill I get home on the weekends, I do try to keep up with what is going on on the forum, headed back in 4 hours have a good week everyone

I have had good luck with This recipe Pav says "Salt the curds at a rate of 2 tsp per gallon milk."

I was wanting to make another blue and I've not done a stilton. Checked out the recipe in your link and thought I'd give it a twirl. Made a 2 gal. batch and used MM100 (doesn't have the LM like the recommended Aroma B but it's the closest thing I had). All went well and I just now packed the mold. Here's my baby stilt' before the first flip:

I always have to open the mini cave a bit to keep the humidity down. So now other cheeses in the cave have a tendency to blue. Having flora in the cave isn't necessarily a bad thing if you have introduced them intentionally.

After working 10 strait days of 10 and 12 hours I finally got to come home this Stilton is very different than any I have made looks golden with some blue marbling smells great!!it does need piercing again (I will do that today)

What do you suppose is causing the nice yellow color? Mine is doing the same exact thing (it doesn't look as "golden" in the photos as in real life). Now that I washed it it smells great again. I don't really have a rampant case of B. Linens in the particular cave I keep it in plus I also keep a bowl over it to keep the PR on it's own playground. Oh well, it looks purty anyway. I'm dying to cut into mine......only six - eight more weeks.

I have no clue why this went in this direction all of my Stiltons have been blue and always in a good way, this one smells wonderful and has no mold problems at all, just soooo different from the other's I have made.I have never washed or brushed any of them. I pierced this a little over a week ago for the second time, I have pix's of the piercing , but no newer pix's of the color, will get some when I get home this weekend (if I get it off)
